I don't think there is an ideal comparable to Skal.

6'11, thin frame, athletic, mobile, promising jump shot, low bball IQ, not much vision, gets pushed around, not a rebounder, turnover prone.

Accurate big men shooters, usually don't use a ton of leg, most are set shooters. less room for error.

andrea bargnani with more shot blocking.

I was running through the bball ref filter, Bargnani was one of the results and I was like "Nah."

its pretty much perfect outside the shot blocking.

even the overrated shooting.


Bargnani put on the requisite weight, but it didn't matter because he has the lowest BB IQ's i've ver seen. Only reason he doesn't get called out on it is because he's european.

Don't forget the supreme laziness to go along with it , help defense or hustle he ain't wit it

Breaking Down Scouting Factors in the NBA Draft

Just thinking of soft, poor rebounding and silky mid-range shooting bigs....

Scola? Spieghts? 

Scola went to WORK in the post man. He has become more of a shooter in his more recent years but dude always had some of the slickest post moves.

Zhou Qi is sparking my interest. What does everyone else think of dude?

 

[ValarMorghulis]

True.. Maybe the present day Scola lol

I wanted to say Bargs too but I don't think Skal will ever be a basically 3s only shooter

one of the skinniest human beings on the planet, people thought Proigis was skinny, this dude is way skinner very mobile though and if you could get him in a strength program, I think he could unlock way more athlticsm. dude is very mobile and fluid for 7-2 guy.

also a tougher rebounder than you might think..

Nice jumper as well, very projectable, could hit 3's one day.

if I remember corectly the draft projection analytics were high on him, had him as a better prospect than Mudaiy, but those are toguh to rely given the small samble of CBA to NBA transfers.

Kentucky has turned Skal Labissiere into the special prospect he was always supposed to be

kid will struggle his first year maybe year and a half but Ingram will be big time in the league. i hope he goes to LA with Russ and Clarkson. 

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Ingram is so skinny, once he gets to an ideal weight he could be a problem.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

if KD couldn't get up 185 then i know Brandon can't get 135

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Every kid coming out needs to put on good weight, its not even worth saying but Ingram looks unusually skinny


I still can't believe people were throwing that out as a reason to take Oden over KD, the guy was 6'11 and could pull up and shoot from anywhere and was athletic on top of it.

Yes please.

 

[jadaqwest]

Lakers gonna send they pick to Philly(if it falls to 4)... sixers gonna draft Ingram and Dunn with two top 5 picks..

 

[buc em]

But will Dragan Bender have to?

2016 NBA Mock Draft 1.0: Pre-tourney

[B Sox]

Meh @ that mock draft...

 

[B Sox]

AJ Hammons could be a very nice pickup for someone in the late 1st/early 2nd...He's 23, so doesn't have a ton of untapped potential, but I could see him being a legit rotation player...
